Okay, when you get on a fixed grip chair, do you say a quick "thank you" to the liftie??

Usually first and last load.

Most of the time. If I'm by myself, all the time. Unless I get whacked with the chair.
I almost always put a hand on the chair, just in case. I don't usually know if the lifty did a bad job unless my chair mates are complaining about it.

Almost always. It's a good practice. That job has got to suck some days.

Always....that is if the liftie is close enough and paying attention to hear me.
As others have said...I always reach behind me and either grab the chair frame or the chair to reduce the likihood of a calf whack.

That's why I usually make it a point to thank them. I've been on the other side of the chair, not always fun. The same reason I try to thank ticket scanners and lift corral traffic directors.

Always . . .
That's not a very good job . . . I'd hate to have it on a powder day.

I thank them every time. The few times I get slammed in the back of the leg, I'll yell "Hey! I Take that back!!!" ...Always good for a laugh.

Don't thank them that often, but I am friendly to them, going beyond small talk. Unless they whack me in the back of the leg.

And I say hi as I slide up to the stop sign too.
Unless they look grumpy and not holding the chair.

Always thank the fixed grip guys who hold the chair. Dont talk to the detachable guys who just stand there.
